Dances with Shrapnel said:Clearly there are some trade offs as the roller bearings have roughly 50% greater load bearing capacity than comparable ball bearings. What we do not know is the difference in bearing behaviour beyond the recommended limits. As an example, catalog information for roller bearings recommends consulting with bearing manufactures when greatly exceeding allowable angular misalignment whereas single row deep groove ball bearings seem to have a hard limit for angular misalignment.
NJ306E dynamic load rating 11600lbs static load rating 10800lbs
6306 dynamic load rating 7500bs static load rating 4000lbs
NJ306E Angle of Misalignment 3-4minutes
6306 Angle of Misalignment 5-10minutes
Edit: The range on the misalignment figures is to cover the range of bearing sizes. They don't list each bearing individually like load ratings.
Edit: I changed the load rating because the figures I used were not for the E extra duty bearing, they are now.
FAG Catalog: (For Deep Groove Ball Bearings)
Misalignment impairs the smooth running of the balls, induces additional stresses in the bearing and consequently reduces the bearing life. In order to control the additional stresses only small values of misalignment - depending on the load - are permissible for deep grove ball bearings.
